IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTON-BOOTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 156,963. dated November 17, 1874 application tiled February 7, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it Known that I, EDWARD F. WELLs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Button-Boot, of which the following is a specification:

The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved shoe, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a diagram of thepattern for thequarter and flap.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the portion of the overlapping flap of a button-shoe, which I now propose to make in one piece with the quarter B, from the lower end 0 to the angle D, between the instep and the leg. E is a ap-piece which I sew onto the piece A, the, slit G extending down to the point D, as shown. in Fig. 3 of drawing. The seam from D to the top of the boot will be concealed by the dress, so as not to be seen, and at the place where it bears in EDWARD FRANCES WELLS.
